World’s End: My Keyword is One More Than Others

Chapter 84: True or False Feng Zhong

Good news.

No parents, no worries about family issues;

Bad news.

This is a completely distorted world, where the elite class monopolizes resource allocation...

...

"No wonder the students from the civilian academy resent the students from the elite academy so much!" Du Ge closed "The History of the Qi Yuan Star Civilization" and sighed deeply. "It seems that in order to live well in this world, one must become a warrior. Once you become a civilian, there will be no hope for advancement."

In the entire Qi Yuan Star, there are about 30,000 reserve soldiers selected each year.

But only 1,200 soldiers eventually make it to the Alien Star Battlefield, divided into four groups: A, B, C, and D, with 300 people in each group. They participate in competitions in four different battlefields, and resources are allocated based on the final rankings of each group.

In general, as long as one group wins, the resources earned are enough to barely sustain civilization.

If three groups win, civilians can enjoy six months of normal food distribution.

If all four groups win, it has never happened in the history of the Qi Yuan Star...

...

As for the situation where Du Ge brings out skills from the simulation field, there is a detailed explanation in the book "Overview of the Alien Star Battlefield". The simulation field can enhance the mental power of the examinees, but skills cannot be brought out from it.

However, the warriors who survive in the Alien Star Battlefield have a certain chance of bringing back derived skills.

But this probability is extremely low.

And those who can bring back advanced skills from the Alien Star Battlefield are all high-level individuals from the Qi Yuan Star...

Du Ge speculated that the simulator should also have the function of allowing players to bring out skills, but it was blocked by the pan-universe entertainment industry, and his crossing caused a bug in the simulator, perhaps due to data overflow or other reasons, creating his unique "golden finger".

...

"30,000 reserve soldiers, 1,200 soldiers." Du Ge didn't plan to reveal his "golden finger". He lay back in his chair, closed his eyes, and brainstormed by himself. "In other words, as long as I can pass the warrior exam without appearing too outstanding, I can enjoy the high-quality resources of this world without having to go to the Alien Star Battlefield and risk my life. This is the optimal solution for survival in this world. Most people should have the same idea."

"Pass the warrior exam without appearing too outstanding..."

"...What will be the consequences for such a person in the Alien Star Battlefield..."

The principal's reprimand suddenly flashed through Du Ge's mind.

Du Ge suddenly opened his eyes and suddenly understood.

Flip the table, act like a rascal, let those above want to use him but dare not use him. He can be a warrior without having to go to the battlefield.

Isn't this the most reasonable way to survive?

...

Ding Ling Ling!

The phone in the dorm suddenly rang.

Gao Ming was not there, and Du Ge didn't know the social relationship between the two. He didn't want to answer the call, but after hesitating for a moment, he still picked it up.

If he didn't answer the call, it would be more troublesome if someone came to find him later.

Du Ge asked, "Hello, who is this?"

A strange voice came from the receiver, "Is this Du Ge?"

Du Ge asked, "It's me, who is this?"

The voice on the other end suddenly became excited, "Brother Qi, it's me, the sky covers the earth."

Feng Zhong?

Du Ge reflexively responded with the password, "The pagoda suppresses the river monster."

But as soon as the words came out, Du Ge realized that something was wrong. The top ten scenes of the simulation field were always broadcasted live. If those people who were eliminated by him paid attention to him, theoretically, everyone would know the password they agreed upon.

Whether the person on the other side was Feng Zhong was still uncertain!

"Brother Qi, the password leaked." Feng Zhong's voice came from the receiver, crying and laughing, "At that time, I forgot about the live broadcast. Why didn't you remind me?"

Who knew that playing in the simulation field would be broadcasted in real-time!

"It was my first time in the simulation field. At that time, all my energy was focused on dealing with the Beggar's Sect. I didn't think about this." Du Ge casually found an excuse.

"I didn't expect that you are actually a student from the civilian academy, and the keyword is really 'maintenance'." Feng Zhong said, "I didn't see through it at all. Your acting skills are amazing, I'm impressed."

The privileged class is indeed amazing. Their school is still waiting to announce the results before others can know their identities. On the other hand, a student from there has already called his dormitory.

Du Ge sighed inwardly and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Let's meet!" Feng Zhong said, "The password has become a clear sign. I estimate that many people will impersonate me and cause trouble for you. That's why I called you immediately. Let's meet and change the password."

Who knows if you are the real one?

Du Ge said, "Okay, come find me! I'll be waiting for you at the school."

"Brother Qi, just kidding, how dare I go to your school?" Feng Zhong laughed, "Let's meet at the Celebration Tower in an hour. I reserved a table at 203."

Meet?

Don't meet?

Du Ge hesitated.

After a moment, he agreed.

Once the results are announced, his identity will be exposed.

He can't stay in school all the time, he has to interact with society. In the simulation field, he can take down the Feng Family without anyone knowing. There's no reason why he can't handle a little brat.

...

Just as Du Ge put down the receiver.

Ding Ling Ling!

The phone rang again.

Du Ge picked up the receiver again, "Hello?"

"Is this Du Ge?" the person on the other end asked.

Du Ge said, "Yes, it's me."

The person on the other end said, "Brother Qi, the sky covers the earth."

"The pagoda suppresses the river monster." Du Ge raised his eyebrows. This elite academy guy is really different. Gao Ming only thinks about clinging to powerful people and using their connections, while the guy on the other end is already queuing up to scheme against him.

They caught him with occasional loopholes.

"Hoo, Brother Qi, it's me, Feng Zhong!" The person on the other end breathed a sigh of relief, "I was really stupid. I discussed the password with you in public. Now everyone knows."

"Okay." Du Ge nodded, "Let's meet and change the password.""No wonder it's Brother Seven, we think alike." The person on the other end paused for a moment, then laughed, "It's good to see you. I've brought you something nice. You have no idea how surprised I was when I found out you were a student at the Civilian Academy. I immediately wanted to transfer you to the Elite Academy. But that stubborn old man disagreed, saying you were impulsive and only luckily won first place in the Simulation Field. He thinks you'll show your true colors in the next round and aren't worth cultivating."

"..." Du Ge remained silent. The people in this world really had a surprisingly consistent understanding of the Simulation Field!

"Brother Seven, don't mind him. The old man is too conservative and can't see your potential." The person on the other end scoffed disdainfully, "Let's work together, strive harder, and get into the top three in the next round. That will shut the old man up, and I can transfer you to the Elite Academy."

If it weren't for Feng Zhong just now, I would have believed him. Dealing with a bunch of drama queens is really exhausting!

Du Ge sighed, "Right, let's aim for first place again. Let's set a place. It's not convenient for you to come to our school, and it's not convenient for me to go to yours either."

"Sure, Brother Seven, you name the place." The person on the other end agreed readily.

"Let's meet at the Celebration Tower!" Du Ge said, "See you in an hour."

"Okay, Celebration Tower, Room 305. I often go there." The person on the other end laughed, "I'll treat Brother Seven to a good meal, to thank you for helping me get into the top three."

"See you there." Du Ge chuckled.

"See you there." The person on the other end chuckled and hung up the phone.

...

Du Ge didn't move this time, he just stayed by the phone.

Sure enough.

In a short while, the phone rang again.

...

"Brother Seven, 'Heaven covers, Earth contains.'"

"'Pagoda suppresses river demon.'"

"Brother Seven, I can't believe I made such a rookie mistake..."

"I got it, Celebration Tower, change the password, someone's in the dorm, we'll talk face to face if there's anything."

...

Within a short twenty minutes.

Du Ge received four calls from Feng Zhong, each one sounding as genuine as the last.

After hanging up the phone, Du Ge smiled, feeling completely at ease. If there was one Feng Zhong, he might have to worry about his safety, but with four Feng Zhongs, his safety was no longer an issue...
